Marshmallow killing moles

[Av Gorritt]

Now , Mr. Maloney , about this 'ere 'orse in your barn ? Are you going to try to get it out . If so , could you please let us all know how to go about it? Just in case of course.

I saw a mole run on a roundabout the other day. No kidding. It had met he curb, then followed it around...and around...and around. I felt quite sorry for it and sometimes when I am doing accounts I think of that mole.

Well it found it’s way onto the roundabout, and presumably it didn’t cross the road to get there.

I believe the solution was a chainsaw and a log chipper.........

I think unfortunately it’s an urban myth,basically doesn’t work.

Shhh!

Shhh!

Worried your shares in that marshmallow factory might get devalued

I've not read this entire thread ,but.... try bubblegum.
Since this is a public forum I won't name names or targets, due to some species protections you all have, but I have wondered if anyone has fed certain ground dwelling creatures this pink chewy treat, works a charm on similar creatures here

We bought some marshmallows to try on moles but never got round to using them so OH has been using them in mousetraps in the polytunnel and found a dead mouse by the unsprung trap today. The jury is still out on this one.

GRRR.

Just had my mole man on the phone.
He set 24 traps in one of our 'urban fringe' fields on Friday.

Some bu66er has made off with 10 of 'em over the weekend.

It's not foxes or badgers - they've taken his little marker flags too

He still got 6 fury guys in his other 14 though.
So it's 10 - 6 to them

Anybody got any spare marshmallows

There must be an alternative to strychnine which could be used with worms.

One less anyway, little barsteward was making a mess of my lawn. No doubt one of its relatives will take over the tunnels at some point in time. Although if the dog gets a sniff of one she makes a bigger mess than the mole does.
